Patient Reviews

I’m not sure I would be able to write this review had it not been for the skillful hands of Dr. Borao. The follow up provided by both he and Dr. Dressner were both informative and professional. I felt like I was important to them not just another case and I was treated with compassion and with kindness. The office staff are also warm and welcoming. Whether elective or emergency (as my surgery was), I would recommend this group.

Dr. Borao and his staff and second to none and take incredible care of their patients. I highly recommend this practice.
